| Reverse description | The river god Nilus reclines to the left, his voluminous body supported by a hippopotamus beneath him. He holds a long reed in one hand and a cornucopia overflowing with produce in the other, emblematic of the Nile's abundance and Egypt's agricultural fertility. The composition is set within a broad, open field typical of Alexandrian bronze issues. The date legend L Β appears in the lower exergual area, indicating regnal year 2 of Hadrian's reign. The style is consistent with the robust, somewhat provincial artistic convention of early second-century Alexandrian coinage. |
